Chapter 156: Home and Far Away (2 & 1)

As the old saying goes, "There is strength in numbers." ”

The old saying goes, "The flame is high when everyone picks up wood." ”

That's not bad at all.

It was just afternoon.

The gang in the village who went out to help bury the telephone poles came back.

Don't think about it, it's not that people don't use it.

It's all done, and the village is left unburied.

The poles are still scattered along the mountain roads, and the village is the densest place.

At that time, when digging, the village chief followed, digging out one by one.

They are all pits dug in each house's garden or by the roadside.

This time, it was convenient for the people in the village to see the excitement, and they all gathered around the place where people buried the telephone poles, sticking out their heads and sticking out their brains.

Zhou Shujie's house is the westernmost one, and a telephone pole must be erected outside the wall of their house.

When she was buried in their house, she also went out to take a few looks.

I also saw how people buried it, and she was still worried about this telephone pole, but it was so simple that it was buried in the ground, and it might not be buried.

Now I understand that the poles are made of pine wood, and the roots are as thick as small pots, and the tips are as thick as two large bowls. The height is five meters, more than one meter buried in the soil, and the height on the ground is three and a half meters.

The pine wood was peeled off, and a layer of asphalt was applied to the outside, which was the asphalt used to lay the oil sheet, so the whole telephone pole was pitch black.

At the bottom of the pole were two finger-thick strips of rebar. It is about 50 centimeters long, and about 20 centimeters can be exposed except for the two ends of the wood.

It is set at the root in the shape of a cross flower, which increases the grip of the wood.

When burying the soil, it is the sand buried in it, and when a few shovels of soil are buried, it is hammered hard with a ten-pound hammer.

This round of sledgehammer is individual work, and after this pole is buried, this round of hammer will have to be replaced by several.

These people who have wheeled the sledgehammer are too hot to wear cotton clothes, either with open arms, or with sleeves pulled, and those who are afraid of the heat are almost bare-chested.

When the telephone poles were buried, there were many children next to the electricians from the county who asked people, "When will the electricity be connected?"

The electrician didn't dare to give an accurate day, so he could only make an approximate way. "Years ago, anyway, during the Chinese New Year, you will definitely be able to turn on the electricity, so that you can light the light bulb." ”

As soon as he gave an answer, the children cheered happily. "Oh~ There will be electricity during the New Year, and you will be able to see the light bulb during the New Year." ”

The villagers standing on the side had smiles on their faces.

Even the electricians from the county were smiling, they didn't think such children were stupid. Just think they're cute. At that time, there may not be such a word, and it should be rare.

When they had finished their work, the villagers dispersed and went home with their tools.

The electricians were invited back to their homes by the village chief.

The village chief would invite them to a meal at home and send them back.

accompanied by the secretary and Zhou Shujie's uncle.

The careful thinking of rural people is actually quite obvious.

It's like this, I'll use you in the future, and I'll hand it over to you now. Instead of using the time, the present handover.

In the past, these electricians might not have dared to eat at other people's houses, but now that the atmosphere is much more open, they are not welcome.

Truth be told, they're hungry too.

This day was all manual work, and at noon I simply ate a bite of cold steamed buns.

The village chief can be regarded as having made a profit, not only killing a chicken and stewing it, but also taking out a bottle of Moutai that has been treasured for a long time.

At this time, Moutai was not as particular as that of later generations, and it was only bottled in glass.

A bottle is only a catty, and there are many people, and one person has more than one or two wines, and even if he can't drink, he won't get drunk.

They were reluctant to take a big sip, and they all drank this little wine in four or five sips.

When the wine was finished, the staple food came up.

Packed in a tray of dry food, with a plate of freshly steamed white steamed buns. There was still this breath, and it was brought to the table.

These big men threw off their arms and started eating, which really gave people a glimpse of what speed is.

I saw this plate of steamed buns in the blink of an eye, and the bottom was swished.

The village chief's daughter-in-law hurriedly picked up a pot and brought it up.

When there were only eight or nine steamed buns left in this pot, the gang was considered full and put off their chopsticks.

I am full, I can drink, I have spoken, I have chattered about what I should have nagged, and the relationship that should be pulled has been completed.

The village chief arranged for people to send several electricians back in a carriage.

Several electricians also told the village chief before leaving. "Village Chief Zhou really thank you, today's meal is really delicious." Don't worry, we'll go back and make arrangements as soon as possible, and strive to get you on the electricity as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, we'll have to use these young people in your village to carry the wires for us. ”

The village chief, who was standing at the gate to give people away, was happy when he heard this, and it seemed that this meal was really not in vain.

He immediately replied with a smile: "No problem, no problem, don't say it's a person, you can use a car." When the time comes, let them rush to the car, use the car to pull the wires for you, let them do some work for you, and their own children will do whatever they want!"

The electrician said, "Okay, then it's decided, I'll send you a letter when the time comes." You go to the car and help us pull the wires. ”

The village chief said, "Okay, then we'll be waiting for the letter at home." ”

The electrician said, "Then it's decided, then the village chief and we're leaving." ”

After saying that, they got into the carriage, and the village chief waved his hand, and the driver threw off the whip.

and others have gone far away, and they are out of sight.

The village chief said to the secretary on the side. "Let's go, let's go into the house, I still have some tea here, let's drink some of it." ”

"Okay!" the secretary also smiled and followed the village chief into the house.

As soon as you look at their expressions, you know it's not just about drinking tea.

Surely something is being discussed?

Of course, no one knows what they discussed.

——Chapters—Sections—Divisions—Boundaries—Lines——

Zhou Shujie watched the excitement outside for a while and then returned to the house.

After entering the house, I learned from her mother-in-law what the telephone pole looked like.

The two children of their family are interesting, sitting next to her mother-in-law and listening to her speech, I don't know if they understand it, but they are listening there with a very serious expression, but Zhou Shujie estimates that they must not understand, just listen to the fun.

Since the weather was cold, her two children rarely went out, and only at noon every day did Zhou Shujie dare to let them go out to play for a while.

After a while, they were locked up in the house again.

To be honest, she was still a little worried about their bodies, and she didn't dare to let the children run outside for too long, for fear that they would catch a cold and suffer from the wind.

The children of other families in the village, they are really not at home from morning to night, and if you don't look for them to eat, no one will go back, it's purely free-range.

Xiang Zhou Shujie is so strict, there is really no one in this era.

This is also the habit she brought back after living for so many years in her previous life.

At that time, there were still free-range children, and every family was eager to install monitoring on the child, for fear that the child would be lost, fallen, injured or something.

Therefore, Zhou Shujie has developed this character, as long as their children are playing outside, they will definitely follow an adult. Even if she doesn't follow, her mother-in-law will.

The place where their children are playing now is their own yard and the yard of Uncle Guo's house next door.

The farthest is Zhou Shujie's uncle's house, and the rest of the places really haven't been to them.

Zhou Shujie teased the two children and ran back and forth in the house for a while.

Seeing that they were a little sleepy, I helped them take off their shoes, hugged the kang, and let them lie on the hot kang and sleep.

Since the grain in this field has been harvested, Zhou Shujie is no longer in the field, and when she has time to coax the children at home, her mother-in-law has moved out all the embroidery tools.

When Zhou Shujie watched the children, she sat on the side and sewed two needles and embroidered twice.

Just like now, the child is asleep, Zhou Shujie went to cook, and her mother-in-law is sitting there, looking at the two sleeping children, while smiling and embroidering kittens on a small flower cloth.

This kitten has begun to take shape, and it looks very cute and cute.

I have to say that the two children in their family are very good if they take care of them on weekdays. Like their grandmothers, these embroideries, embroidery threads and embroidery needles are placed in high places. They have never touched it, but sometimes when grandma is embroidering, the steamed buns will squat aside with curiosity and interest and watch patiently.

Speaking of this, Zhou Shujie wanted to laugh.

Generally, girls are more interested in these colored threads and the flowers that are embroidered.

But their family is the opposite, and she now discovers that the personalities of their two children are very different.

Don't look at the obedient girl who was born a pound less than her brother, but when she grew up, she was much more lively than her brother, and now she looks at this character in the words of later generations, a bit of a "female man".

The character of the steamed bun is still very similar to the previous life, very careful and patient.

Such a scene is really heartwarming!

The two children blushed and fluttered, covered with a small quilt, and slept fragrantly.

The gray-haired old man sat by the window, embroidering the things in his hand with a kind smile on his face.

The young mother, with her long black braids, was preparing a family dinner in the kitchen, and her face looked particularly radiant in the white haze.

Such a scene really wants people to keep them.

Send it to the pillar in the distance and let him feel it.

When the pillar left home, he received an urgent recall telegram.

Before he could return to the army, he ran into the car that had gone to pick him up, and he went directly to the battlefield in this car to meet his comrades.

They are now ready to fight a protracted battle.

Since last year's fierce attack, they intercepted and struck back, this small movement on the border line has not been broken.

These soldiers also stay here in shifts.

This war has been going on since its outbreak to the present. The people also showed confidence.

At the beginning, many people were panicked. I am afraid that I don't know when, the enemy will kill at my doorstep.

But now they are not afraid, it is the Chinese soldiers who have given them courage, given them strength, given them confidence, and made them believe that in this war, we will win, no matter what the price is.

Soldiers on the border, no matter where they come from, have to adapt to the humid and sweltering rainforest environment.

There are those who are not accustomed to the water and soil, and they start to vomit and diarrhea as soon as they come, and they can't tie their belts if they don't run ten or eight times a day.

But fortunately, this situation will be relieved in a few days, one is that they are taking medicine, and the other is that their bodies are slowly adapting to this environment.

There are also a few such people, if there are too many, you will not be able to hold back when you catch up with the war, then you really can't pick it up and grab it, you can only use it to attack.

Just kidding, I didn't mean to slander the soldiers.

As soon as the pillar returned to the battlefield, the things he brought with him were more popular with his comrades than he was.

The main thing is that the spicy meat sauce that Zhou Shujie made for him is the most popular.

To be honest, it's not easy to take a bite of the taste of home in this place.

At this time, there was no big container, so Zhou Shujie used a glass bottle for canned food to fill two bottles for the pillar.

He ate half a bottle on the way, and now there is a bottle and a half left.

A meal was wiped in by these comrades-in-arms with steamed buns.

The pillar didn't stop it, the weather here is still very hot, and it won't be good if it breaks down for a long time, and it's not a pity to eat it for his comrades.

The only thing he cares about is the farm work at home.

He was in such a hurry that he came back before he could help them finish harvesting the wheat.

I don't know how the harvest is at home, but looking at the appearance of the wheat in the geography, there should be no less grain this year.

He is relieved that his family can be fed and clothed, and his children can be healthy.

When this group of soldiers comes up, it is natural that a group of comrades-in-arms will go back.

He also found one of the better ones, and used his newly received two months' salary to ask his comrades-in-arms to help him buy some things and mail them back to his hometown.

When he went, he saw his comrades surrounded by people, and they couldn't see anything.

Many people want to bring something home, or mail money directly.

The comrade-in-arms who was going home took a notebook and stood in the middle alone, one person kept an account.

The pillar was not in a hurry, just stood outside and waited.

He waited until the people in front of him were all gone, and then he came to him.

The comrade-in-arms glanced up, and asked with a smile when he saw that it was a pillar. "Why, you want to bring something back, too." ”

The pillar said, "Yes, I'll take some money, and you can help me buy a few things and mail them back to my hometown." Here's the money, here's the address, here's what to buy. After speaking, he handed the things he had prepared long ago to his comrades.

The comrade-in-arms took it and looked at it and was happy, and said. "You still have experience, and you're quite well prepared." It's not like these stupid boys, who didn't prepare anything for the left and right, but just took the money and asked me to piggyback on this, and let me carry that, and I remembered that my head was almost confused, and I might not be able to remember it if I didn't take a notebook. Like you, the preparation is quite sufficient, you don't have to remember anything, just buy it according to what you wrote, sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!"

After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at the pillar and smiled evilly.

Zhu Zi also understood the underlying meaning of his words, but did not continue to joke with him, but said hello and returned to his post.

They have an operation tonight, and he wants to go back and think about it again, if there are any loopholes, and make a good deployment.
